Star snapper Dave Benett has photographed icons from Princess Diana andKate Moss, to Gwyneth Paltrow andBrad Pitt, and Michael Jackson andNicole Kidman at some of the biggest events in history. The stunning photographs, which have become iconic in their own right, can now be seen on Instagram – where Dave's account is swiftly becoming the most talked about page on the photo-sharing website.

Every picture tells a story. "Diana and Liza Minelli is probably one of my favourite pictures," the London-based photographertold HELLO! Online.

"Camille - she's my creative director - said, 'Dad we should do some stuff', and she started putting it up only a few months ago."

Dave’s daughter made the point that the pair should share the images rather than having them sitting in the libraries of photo agencies where no-one could see them.

"Camille said, ‘Dad, people have forgotten what you shot… and look at the access we were getting!" explains Dave.

Celeb fans are now flocking to the addictive Instagram account in their thousands. "Suddenly it just went mad," he says.

One of Dave's most famous photographs is Elizabeth Hurley in her safety-pin Versace dress, on the arm of then-boyfriend Hugh Grant. How does the photographer manage to capture the stars so natural and at ease?

"Always be friendly," he reveals. "Most of them you get to know over the years, and a relationship builds from that."
